Chapter 873 - 874: First Arrival in the Different World
"Elder, where are we going?"
Looking at the nameless old man speeding ahead, Lin Kuang asked with some confusion.
Previously, when Lin Kuang was preparing to leave Earth, the nameless old man had already spoken to him. When Lin Kuang was ready to leave, he came to find the nameless old man, which is why Lin Kuang ended up here.
However, Lin Kuang didn’t know why the nameless old man wanted him to come, nor did he know where the old man was planning to take him, hence his question.
Upon hearing Lin Kuang’s words, the nameless old man smiled slightly: "A place that can let you leave Earth, a very crucial place.
Only by reaching that place can you leave Earth; otherwise, even if possible, it would be very difficult."
Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang was taken aback and quickly asked: "Oh? What place is that?"
"Remember the place where we searched for the treasure? It’s right there. If you want to leave Earth, only there can take you away."
The nameless old man said again.
"That place can take me away?"
Lin Kuang asked with some confusion.
The nameless old man nodded: "Yes, that place will allow you to leave. Follow me."
Saying this, the nameless old man said nothing more and began to travel quickly.
Upon hearing him, Lin Kuang said nothing more either. With their current pace, they could reach the treasure location before nightfall.
The two of them sped all the way without any stops and finally arrived by evening.
"Come on, let’s go in."
Glancing at the cave entrance ahead, the nameless old man spoke up and then stepped inside.
Seeing this, Lin Kuang also didn’t speak much, quickly following the nameless old man’s steps into the cave.
Following the initial passage, the two of them entered.
This time, there were no traps, as the nameless old man had already dismantled the previous ones.
The two arrived unimpeded at the hidden chamber, once again seeing the empty bookshelves.
However, the nameless old man’s gaze wasn’t on the bookshelves but focused on a corner within the chamber.
A somewhat puzzled Lin Kuang followed the old man’s line of sight, letting his gaze fall on the same corner.
Only then did Lin Kuang see a complex pattern carved in the corner, covered in dust. Without careful observation, the pattern was barely visible.
"Elder, is this what you meant?"
Looking at the pattern before him, Lin Kuang asked with some confusion.
Upon hearing this, the nameless old man smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is it. It’s the key to sending you away from Earth."
"Why?"
Lin Kuang asked, still confused, not understanding the old man’s words.
Upon hearing, the nameless old man smiled and explained: "You’ve never been to Xuanwu Continent, so there are many things you don’t know.
On Xuanwu Continent, there’s something called a teleportation formation, a formation that uses space power for movement.
Only a teleportation formation can quickly take you to Xuanwu Continent.
And this pattern is a teleportation formation; once activated, we can return to Xuanwu Continent."
As he spoke, a hint of excitement crept into the nameless old man’s tone since Xuanwu Continent was his homeland, and he finally had a chance to return. Naturally, the old man’s emotions were stirred.
Hearing this, Lin Kuang stood there dumbfounded, still somewhat confused but understanding the old man’s intention: this teleportation formation would enable him to reach Xuanwu Continent.
At this moment, the nameless old man waved his hand, wiping the dust off the pattern, revealing the intricate design.
It was only then that Lin Kuang saw eight palm-sized slots at the center of the formation, seemingly needing something inserted to activate it.
"Come on, stand on it."
At this moment, the nameless old man spoke, positioning himself at the center of the pattern.
Seeing this, Lin Kuang didn’t hesitate and stepped beside the nameless old man.
As Lin Kuang stepped up, the nameless old man carefully took out eight crystal stones from his bosom and placed them into the slots.
Seeing the eight crystal stones in the nameless old man’s hand, Lin Kuang was momentarily stunned, recalling that his Blue Sea Bracelet given by the Dragon God contained many of these.
"Elder, what are these things you have?"
Seeing the somewhat reluctant old man, Lin Kuang asked out of curiosity.
"These are called profound crystals, the common currency used on Xuanwu Continent. We need them to buy things there.
The profound crystals contain Profound Qi; the higher the grade, the purer the Profound Qi inside, making them more valuable.
These eight profound crystals consist of four middle-grade and four low-grade ones. They should suffice for us to leave Earth."
The nameless old man explained.
Even though the old man only had a few profound crystals, taking out eight, including four middle-grade ones, was a great deal of pain for him.
"Elder, what grade would you say this one is?"
As he spoke, Lin Kuang’s hand produced a profound crystal, naturally given to him by the Dragon God.
Prior to this, Lin Kuang didn’t know what these were called, and it was only after the old man’s explanation that he understood the use of profound crystals.
They were akin to money on Earth, whose significance Lin Kuang undoubtedly recognized.
Upon hearing this, the nameless old man glanced back, his gaze fixed directly on the profound crystal in Lin Kuang’s hand.
Seeing the profound crystal in Lin Kuang’s hand, the nameless old man was momentarily stunned and then grew visibly excited.
"Top grade, top grade, that’s a top-grade profound crystal!"
Looking at the profound crystal in Lin Kuang’s hand, the nameless old man exclaimed excitedly, his eyes gleaming, longing to keep the profound crystal.
"Oh, top grade? Is it valuable?"
Lin Kuang asked, unable to help himself, as he knew little about profound crystals and Xuanwu Continent.
"Valuable? More than just valuable, it’s extremely valuable!
Let me tell you, one middle-grade profound crystal equals a hundred low-grade profound crystals, and one high-grade profound crystal equals a thousand low-grade profound crystals!
And top-grade profound crystals are very rare; at least one of them can exchange for twelve thousand low-grade profound crystals, possibly more.
This one top-grade profound crystal is something many innate martial artists can’t earn in a lifetime."
Looking at the top-grade profound crystal in his hand, the nameless old man spoke feverishly.
Upon hearing, Lin Kuang remained calm, after all, there were plenty of them within his Blue Sea Bracelet.
"I see, it seems these things are quite good.
Elder, I’ll give it to you."
Lin Kuang said with a smile, truly not concerned about them, as he had many.
"What? Give it to me? No, no, no, it’s too precious, you should take it back."
The nameless old man quickly said, returning the top-grade profound crystal in his hand to Lin Kuang.
Though the nameless old man was reluctant and wanted to keep it, the crystal was too valuable for him to dare accept or keep.
